A Cultural History of Color in Antiquity spans a period from 3000 BCE to 500 CE, challenging the notion that the ancient Greeks and Romans had a restrained and monochromatic color world. Classical archaeologists are uncovering and restoring the vibrant polychrome nature of the ancient built environment, revealing insights into ancient color cognition and language. Color plays a significant role in shaping individuals' experiences of the world and assigning meaning to spaces, objects, and moments. The 6-volume set of the Cultural History of Color explores the creation, trade, use, and interpretation of color over the last 5000 years, covering various themes such as color philosophy and science, technology and trade, power and identity, religion and ritual, body and clothing, language and psychology, literature and the performing arts, art, architecture and interiors, and artefacts. David Wharton is the Associate Professor of Classical Studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA, and serves as the General Editor of Volume 1 in the Cultural History of Color set. Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten Wolf are the General Editors of the series.
